Back to the ICT-Hotlist...How to retrieve your FTP passwords from FileZilla
You probably once got an e-mail with the FTP settings for a download site, entered the credentials in FileZilla, lost the mail and now someone else needs the FTP account. Or you got a new PC assigned and suddenly need to FTP a bug report, noticing your sites and passwords are not transferred to the new PC. Of course you can contact your ftp partner, fill out a few forms, send them in and wait a few days whilst your boss gets angry behind your back when the sales system grinds to a halt.As you by now know from reading all the other tips, they do not work as FileZilla now encrypts the password in the configuration file.
These are the steps to get your password with the current versions of FileZilla.
- Open the file explorer and paste the path %AppData%/filezilla in the address bar and open the file sitemanager.xml in Notepad or your favorite text editor (NotePad++)
- Search for the section containing the ftp site. See for an example the next text box.
<Server>
<Host>ftp.van_Soest.it</Host>
<Port>21</Port>
<Protocol>0</Protocol>
<Type>0</Type>
<User>Johan</User>
<Pass encoding="base64">VGhpc0lzQVRlc3RQYXNzd29yZA==</Pass>
<Logontype>1</Logontype>
<TimezoneOffset>0</TimezoneOffset>
<PasvMode>MODE_DEFAULT</PasvMode>
<MaximumMultipleConnections>0</MaximumMultipleConnections>
<EncodingType>Auto</EncodingType>
<BypassProxy>0</BypassProxy>
<Name>ftp://ftp.van_Soest.it</Name>
<Comments />
<LocalDir />
<RemoteDir />
<SyncBrowsing>0</SyncBrowsing>
<DirectoryComparison>0</DirectoryComparison>ftp://ftp.van_Soest.it
</Server>
An example of a FileZilla server configuration. - You now can find the password in the line.
<Pass encoding="base64">VGhpc0lzQVRlc3RQYXNzd29yZA==</Pass>Notice the encoding type "base64". This explains the encoding type used to encrypt the password.
- Now open your favorite base64 decoding program. Every postmaster has one.
|
Use your favorite local base64 decoding program. This program keeps all data within the company walls and can do much more than the online variant demonstrated here.
 Copy everything between <Pass encoding = "base64"> and </Pass> into the text box. Now click on the "Decode to Text" button and the Output box will show your FileZilla password in plain text. |
Vcds Hex V2 Clone Repair ✰Requires an ST-Link V2 programmer. You must connect the SWDIO, SWCLK, GND, and 3.3V pins to the cable's internal PCB and use software like STM32CubeProgrammer to flash a clean dump. Identify the microchip (often an STM32F405 or similar). : If the device is recognized as "Unknown Device" in Windows Device Manager, the FTDI chip may have had its ID wiped. You can often restore this using the FT_Prog utility from FTDI Chip to set the Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) back to the values required by the VCDS drivers. If the software still shows "Interface Not Found" after fixing the FTDI chip, you must re-flash the Atmega chip. If the PC recognizes the cable, but it fails to communicate with the vehicle's modules (or throws a K-Line short error), the issue is hardware-related. Replacing internal chips or fixing cold solder joints. Symptom C: "Interface Not Activated" or License Blocked Vcds Hex V2 Clone Repair The VCDS HEX V2 clone is a reliable and affordable diagnostic tool, but like any electronic device, it can malfunction or fail. By following the troubleshooting steps and repair methods outlined in this article, you can resolve common issues and get your device up and running again. Remember to follow best practices for prevention and maintenance to extend the life of your device. If you're not comfortable with repairs or need further assistance, consider consulting with a professional or seeking guidance from online forums and communities. or firmware updaters found in "Loader 9.2" or similar archives. This guide covers how to identify and repair common VCDS HEX-V2 clone issues to get your diagnostics back on track. Common Symptoms of a Faulty Interface When you install a standard software update from Ross-Tech or run the program while connected to Wi-Fi, the software checks the device's serial number against a database of known pirated signatures. Once a clone signature is detected, the software executes an "eeprom wipe" or overwrites the device's internal flash memory. This results in: inside VCDS. USB Device Not Recognized windows alerts. Solid Red or Blank LEDs on the hardware casing. Requires an ST-Link V2 programmer I repair non-working VCDS HEX-V2 clones (green board, ATMEGA64/162). Click to write the data back. Unplug and replug the cable. Fixing via ISP Programmer (Firmware Corruption) even on 64-bit systems, which has fixed "bricked" states for some users. Version Pinning : Never update a clone interface through the official Ross-Tech update utility If you are stuck on a specific step of the repair process, tell me: : If the device is recognized as "Unknown A compatible VCDS Loader patch (e.g., VIIPlusLoader or Kolimer loader, depending on your hardware source). Step 1: Wire the ST-Link to the VCDS PCB Note: Do not plug the HEX-V2 into your computer's USB port or the car’s OBD2 port while it is powered by the ST-Link programmer. Flashing Procedure Launch the on your PC. Once the hardware has valid firmware, your computer needs to recognize it correctly. Look for burnt components, especially the voltage regulators (typically LM7805 or similar switching regulators) that drop the car's 12V down to 5V and 3.3V. 2. Voltage Testing Connect the corresponding pins from your ST-Link V2 programmer to the pads on the VCDS board. If you do not want to solder, you can hold press-fit pogo pins against the pads during the flash process. |
